What were some of the challenges encountered by settlers on the plains and ow did they attempt to solve these issues?
The conditions of the mine life in the boom period attracted outlaws and "bad men," operating as individuals or gangs. When the situation became intolerable in a community, those members interested in order began enforcing their own laws through vigilante committees, an unofficial system of social control used earlier in California. Vigilantes were unconstrained by the legal system. Some vigilantes continued to operate as private "law" enforcers after the creation of regular governments.

What was the cause of the Boxer Rebellion?
The cause of the Boxer Rebellion were pretty much two things: primarily the intrusion of westerners and their Christian missionaries and the weakness of the Qing dynasty. During some time in 1898, a group of Chinese people were fed up and sick of the way westerners were acting in their village. Thus in their outrage they killed the westerners and rallied up a numerous amount of other followers who had anti-foreign sentiment. They were called The Righteous Fists of Harmony or Boxers as westerners called them. The Boxers decided to march to the Forbidden City and do something about the weak government. Along the way, they continued to gather more and more Chinese people with anti-foreign attitude. When they got to Peking (Beijing) the Boxers held it hostage for 55 days. Western powers decided to secure China and sieged Peking. With the mighty force of western technology, it was fairly simple for the western powers to dominate the already weakened China.
